Valve cover gasket replacement

So it is finally time for me to replace my valve cover gaskets. Does anyone have input on what kits to get and any pointers on how to tackle replacing the valve cover gaskets? Suggestions on parts/kits. ie: OEM or after market? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Most will say OEM or nothing. A few will say Fel-Pro is fine.

There's a great sticky above once you decide which brand to buy.

Changing the sealant on the moons is just as important or you will be doing it again.

 

I thought this was a pretty good video that covers it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5fAXAuGozI - credit to Timmah, I find his info to be reliable.

 

I ordered new gaskets, spark plug tube seals, half moons, and some fipg sealer from @gunny1005. Pretty straight forward job, clean everything good and watch where everything goes. Take pics if you need to in case you forget where lines go etc. It’s not a hard job but you will need to remove the upper intake to change them.

 

New throttle body gasket, rear cam seals, FIPG, intake gaskets too... do the research, watch the vids,
Do it all so you don’t have to screw around with it again for along time
